If you look in /var/log/dmesg you should find some lines like...

(This isnt from a RaQ so it wont look exactly like this but its the last too
lines that are important)
PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev f9
PIIX4: chipset revision 2
PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0xffa0-0xffa7, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
    ide1: BM-DMA at 0xffa8-0xffaf, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio
hda: IC35L060AVER07-0, ATA DISK drive
hdb: IC35L060AVER07-0, ATA DISK drive

This are shown up as
hda - Primary IDE Master
hdb - Primary IDE Slave
hdc - Secondary IDE Master
hdd - Secondary IDE Slave

I think by your terminology "should be considered solo on their chain" you
might have the device setup as hdc and not hdb.
